Podcamp rules change – for the worse?

Podcamp rules change – for the worse?

There is no doubt that putting together any kind of conference, whether ‘traditional’ or the new wave of ‘un-conferences’, is a tricky, intense and risky activity. But Podcamps, the podcasting-focused un-conferences derived from the Barcamp concept, are particularly tough due to the rule that attendance should be free of charge.
CC Chapman seemed to be the [...]

Mr Spikey, Mrs Spikey, the spikey kids, and the spikey neighbours

Mr Spikey, Mrs Spikey, the spikey kids, and the spikey neighbours

The Spikeys (shown left) are the new additions to the previously sparse and plant-slaying bedroom window sill.
The window’s south-facing aspect and uninterrupted sunlight (weather permitting) means many indoor household plants struggle to stay green, healthy, or alive. At least we think that might be the reason.
The cacti were purchased individually and assembled into an [...]

Nanowrimo 2007 just around the corner

The National Novel Writing Month, otherwise known as Nanowrimo, starts once more on November 1st. This time last year, I was considering taking part. Last December, I was quietly close to being determined to take part in 2007.
Writing, like any other creative endeavour, needs a good firm deadline to stir the productive juices – note [...]

Table Rappers has a home

Table Rappers has a home

I have written briefly here about Table Rappers once or twice – recently here and here. Now there’s a presence on the web and thanks to the liberally flowing creative juices of a very talented person around here (ahem… jEN), the presence is a little more than mere words in a browser.

Free online backup for Mac OSX – Mozy update fixes issues

Free online backup for Mac OSX – Mozy update fixes issues

I first wrote about my initial experience with Mozy’s online backup service here, and although I found it a very straightforward and pleasant experience, the Mac OSX version of their backup client simply wasn’t reliable. This week, they release version 0.5, and it’s great!
Something was amiss with the 0.4.x version of the Mac client as [...]

Lara’s back in a nostalgic and familiar adventure

Lara’s back in a nostalgic and familiar adventure

It has apparently been over ten years since Lara Croft first grunted, shimmied, and swan-dived her way though her first adventure on the PlayStation 1. Even now I can remember some of the classic levels from that game; like classic scenes from a favourite movie where you know every cut, every nuance of the story. [...]
